English Premier League - Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Crystal Palace

Season after season, Crystal Palace is not in the first half of the table in the English Premier League, but they still routinely manage their best to stay in the elite. It is much possible that it will be the same occurrence this season because they showed quality performance in the previous round by drawing 1-1 against Liverpool FC. Not a many predicted that Crystal Palace would be able end their losing streak against Liverpool but They were well organised and frustrated Klopp and co-players. An effort from Zaha against the run of play put Crystal Palace 1-0 up at the halftime and things went from bad to worse for the Liverpool in the 57th-minutes when Darwin Nunez was shown a straight red card. However, shortly after that, Diaz leveled for Liverpool and Crystal Palace had to see out the remaining time to make sure they took home a share of the spoils. The season is long, but it seems that some players such as Eze and Zaha can be of great support.

 

Aston Villa

Aston Villa had great ambitions last season, but it was noticeable that they burned themselves out in too much desire. This season Aston Villa is once again very competitive. Aston Villa were given much of a test by Everton last outing, well, not in the first half at least, as Ings scored just after the half-hour mark to put the home side 1-0 up at the break. Everton created the better chances in the second half but a goal from substitute Buendia put Villa 2-0 up 4-minutes from time. Everton continued to push forward and pulled a goal back via an own goal from their former player Digne and the visitors nearly pitched a point at the death but Villa held on to see out their 2-1 victory. With the victory over Everton, they made up for the loss against Bournemouth in the last round.

 

Verdict:

Both matches of the Crystal Palace at the beginning of the season ended in a low scoring. The last time when these both teams met final score was 1-1 and something similar is expected here. Aston Villa comes to London with at least one point and should not be expected to push too hard in attack. One point would be enough for both teams, so a home win double chance will be very good alternative option in this match.

 

O/U Goals: Under 2.5 Goals

 

1x2 Pick: 1X

English Premier League - Manchester City vs Bournemouth AFC Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

Recently promoted Bournemouth AFC will be the opposition at the Etihad Stadium this weekend for matchweek-2 English Premier League clash and may have given Guardiola a take home assignment following their 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. Both teams are hoping to move on with the momentum of the good start of the new campaign.

 

Manchester City

Manchester City truly put behind them the disappointment of their Community Shield defeat by securing all 3 points at the home soil of West Ham United last weekend. Newly signed, Erling Haaland was taken down on a bid for a goal and stepped up to convert the resulting spot-kick in the 36th minute and Manchester City led 1-0 at half time. Fast forward to the 65th minute, De Bruyne put Erling Haaland through on goal and the 6' 5″ striker slide the ball into the bottom corner of the net to help his side claim a comfortable 2-0 victory. Manchester City will come into round 2 fully prepared.

 

Bournemouth AFC

Bournemouth AFC resumed in the English Premier League with a bang, taking the lead at home soil to Aston Villa through Lerma after just two minutes. Aston Villa looked poor in the final third and Bournemouth AFC took full advantage, making it 2-0 and bagging all 3 points, thanks to a first English Premier League goal for Kieffer Moore.

 

Verdict:

In three of the last five league meetings between Manchester City and Bournemouth AFC Over 3.5 goals have been scored and goals are expected to flow once again this weekend. Three of Manchester City's last six matches across all competitions have produced over 3.5 goals and they will be looking to put in a top performance in front of their own fans after losing to Liverpool in the Community Shield. Hopefully, Erling Haaland will manage and score at least two goals against Bournemouth AFC.

English Premier League - Everton vs Chelsea Prediction

 

 

Analysis:

This English Premier League game will see Everton facing off against Chelsea at their home ground of Goodison Park

 

 

Everton

Everton are up against their first guests, Chelsea. Everton have lost 12 of their previous 20 games. They are expected to play better but anyway they will face a very tough job at the beginning of this campaign because they are playing against one of the best teams in the league.

 

Everton are not in a better shape and form, therefore would play a defensive game here striving not to concede a good number of goals. Playing at home soil is an advantage for Everton here as they have not been defeated at home by Chelsea in the past 10 played matches.

 

The departure of Richarlison will really affect Everton defense patterns. After 10 meetings between the both teams it only point to 4 victories for Everton, with 3 games being drawn, that leaves 3 wins for Chelsea. Everton have maintained a slight advantage in recent matches with Chelsea, securing one more win in the last 6 duels. They really have a lot of catching up to do regarding this fixture.

 

 

Chelsea

Despite Chelsea finishing 3rd and sealed the UEFA Champions League group stage, they really had a messy season, as they dropped out of the title race earlier than expected, finishing the season 19 points behind champions Manchester City.

 

Chelsea defeated Watford in their last match, winning the Premier League clash with a 2-1 score line. They have not been defeated in any of their last 4 matches. They were great on their away trips at the end of the previous season as they won 6 of their past 10 away matches.

 

 

Verdict:

Everton have not been defeated at home by Chelsea in the past 10 played matches. Thus they will struggle for a 5th unbeaten home streak at Goodison Park.

 

 

AH Pick: Home (+0.5/+1)
